WebRTC is a standard enabling real-time communications such as audio and video in the browser without plugins. Our SNAPmobile Web and video applications utilize WebRTC technology.
While the signaling of the apps remains SIP, the communication channel used is Websockets. Media is also encrypted/decrypted using DTLS-SRTP (Datagram Transport Layer Security-Secure Real-time Transport Protocol.); which allows for extra security.
